Hi All,
I have a mediawiki installation (1.5.8) on which I wanted to enable email notification. A user should get a notification mail whenever any of the pages in his watchlist changes. How do you I do this?
The Enotif site (http://www.wikipage.org/wikinaut/index.php/Enotif) says that most of the features of Enotif are available in mediawiki (>1.5.6) and recommeds use of mediawiki itself.
But the mediawiki (preferences page for sysop) does not provide the required options. I found the webpages and the documentation on Enotif to be confusing.
Provided the site configuration is set up to allow it (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Configuration_settings#Email_settings et al.), users can opt into email notification for changes to pages on their watchlists via their user preferences.
